So You're A Vet... Now What?
Simple, accessible and accredited teaching, toolkits and support to help you thrive in your career as a veterinarian. This community is for all veterinary associates who wish to find success and happiness in their work.
'So You're A Vet... Now What?' exists because we believe being a vet can and should be the best job ever. But we also know that the challenges you face in practice each day can take their toll and leave you feeling burned out or disenfranchised. The reality is that being a vet is also a hard job and the clinical training you received at vet school is simply not enough to ensure a great career.
In fact, there is another skill set that is so much more important. The non-clinical skills (or life skills as we call them) are things like emotional intelligence, the smarts to say the right word and the right time, and the ability to manage your time. These, and many besides are the skills that will provide you with the foundation for a happy and healthy career as a vet.
So You're A Vet... Now What teaches these skills exclusively. But this is so much more than an educational platform. This is a toolkit where you will have access to templates, frameworks and worksheets to help you build and execute your plan. Plus you'll be part of a global support network - a place of positive encouragement.
And finally, you'll be learning in a RACE and Vetted accredited community where you can get 12 hours of structured education credit.
